I am not entirely sure what your asking but i think you mean which will coast the least and that would be 8 since it’s the smallest amount
Answer:
13 players
Step-by-step explanation:
Money Raised=RentedBus+Meals
1319.25=776.50+41.75p (p is for the number of players)(Now we solve for x)
Subtract 776.50 from both sides: 542.75=41.75x
Divide both sides by 41.75: 13=x
Remember that x is for the number of players so there'll be 13 players going to the tournament.
Since both equations are equal to y, we can just combine them like this:
1/3x-3=-x+5
1/3x=-x+8
4/3x=8 (since x is 1x which is 3/3x)
x=6
Plug x back in:
y=-6+5
y=-1
So x=6 and y=-1
Hope this helped!
